Hypergammaglobulinemia Most hypergammaglobulinemias are caused by an excess of immunoglobulin M (IgM), because this is the default immunoglobulin type prior to class switching. Some types of hypergammaglobulinemia are actually caused by a deficiency in the other major types of immunoglobulins, which are IgA, IgE and IgG. There are 5 types of hypergammaglobulinemias associated with hyper IgM.

Rituxan Hypogammaglobulinemia (IgA, IgG or IgM below the lower limit of normal) has been observed in patients with GPA and MPA treated with Rituxan. At 6 months, in the Rituxan group, 27%, 58% and 51% of patients with normal immunoglobulin levels at baseline, had low IgA, IgG and IgM levels, respectively compared to 25%, 50% and 46% in the cyclophosphamide group.

- Gene mutations that cause congenital hyperinsulinism lead to over-secretion of insulin from beta cells. Normally, insulin is secreted in response to the amount of glucose in the bloodstream: when glucose levels rise, so does insulin secretion.However, in people with congenital hyperinsulinism, insulin is secreted from beta cells regardless of the amount of glucose present in the blood.utations in at least nine genes have been found to cause congenital hyperinsulinism. Mutations in the ABCC8 gene are the most common known cause of the disorder. They account for this condition in approximately 40 percent of affected individuals.

Hypoalbuminemia Hypoalbuminemia Clinical Presentation - Causes. 1  Hypoalbuminemia can result from decreased albumin production, defective synthesis because of hepatocyte damage, deficient intake of amino acids, increased losses of albumin via GI or renal processes, and, most commonly, acute or chronic inflammation. Some of the many causes are discussed below.

Overview Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (mak-roe-glob-u-lih-NEE-me-uh) is a rare type of cancer that begins in the white blood cells. If you have Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia, your bone marrow produces too many abnormal white blood cells that crowd out healthy blood cells. The abnormal white blood cells produce a protein that accumulates in the blood, impairs circulation and causes complications. Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia is considered a type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Rhabdomyolysis: Causes, Symptoms, and Diagnosis Since myoglobin is toxic to the small tubules of the kidneys, high levels of this protein can damage the kidneys and may result in acute renal failure. Many things can trigger rhabdomyolysis. Anything that damages the muscles can cause this condition.

- Mutations in the APOB, LDLR, LDLRAP1, and PCSK9 genes cause hypercholesterolemia. High blood cholesterol levels typically result from a combination of genetic and environmental risk factors.Lifestyle choices including diet, exercise, and tobacco smoking strongly influence the amount of cholesterol in the blood.he most common cause of inherited high cholesterol is a condition known as familial hypercholesterolemia, which results from mutations in the LDLR gene. The LDLR gene provides instructions for making a protein called a low-density lipoprotein receptor.

What is Paraproteinemia? Paraproteinemia is the presence of elevated levels of paraproteins or monoclonal gammaglobulins in the blood, which is why it's also called monoclonal gammopathy. It usually occurs as a part of immunoproliferative disorders such as leukemias, lymphomas, and plasma cell dyscrasia or cancers.

Hyperammonemia Hyperammonemia-hyperornithinemia-homocitrullinuria (HHH): These infants present in the first few weeks of life with seizures, feeding difficulty, and altered level of consciousness. A defect in transport of ornithine from cytosol into mitochondria causes hyperornithinemia, and disruption of the urea cycle causes hyperammonemia.

- Mutations in the HBB gene cause sickle cell disease. Hemoglobin consists of four protein subunits, typically, two subunits called alpha-globin and two subunits called beta-globin.

Antibodies are proteins (immunoglobulins, (IgM), (IgG) etc) that are critical and key components of the immune system.

- (See 'Differential diagnosis' below.) ●Chronic kidney disease (CKD) – Some patients with multiple myeloma may experience a gradual or progressive increase in serum creatinine over a period of six months or more. These patients are less likely to have a diagnosis of light chain cast nephropathy. However, patients who have experienced one or more prior episodes of light chain cast nephropathy without complete renal recovery can develop CKD. CKD as a presenting clinical feature is more commonly seen in patients with immunoglobulin light chain (AL) amyloidosis or monoclonal immunoglobulin deposition disease (MIDD).

Kidney Disease (Nephropathy) When kidney disease is diagnosed early, during microalbuminuria, several treatments may keep kidney disease from getting worse. Having larger amounts of protein in the urine is called macroalbuminuria. When kidney disease is caught later during macroalbuminuria, end-stage renal disease, or ESRD, usually follows.In time, the stress of overwork causes the kidneys to lose their filtering ability.Waste products then start to build up in the blood.hen kidney disease is caught later during macroalbuminuria, end-stage renal disease, or ESRD, usually follows.

Background In 1958, Stanton and Tange introduced the term Goodpasture syndrome to describe patients with these conditions. The syndrome was subsequently shown to be caused by an antibody response against antigens present in the glomerular basement membrane (GBM). Immunofluorescent examination of the kidneys demonstrated that these antibodies were localized in a continuous linear deposit along the GBM.

Hyperprolactinaemia Hyperprolactinaemia may cause galactorrhea (production and spontaneous flow of breast milk) and disruptions in the normal menstrual period in women and hypogonadism, infertility and erectile dysfunction in men. Hyperprolactinaemia can also be a part of normal body changes during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It can also be caused by diseases affecting the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. It can also be caused by disruption of the normal regulation of prolactin levels by drugs, medicinal herbs and heavy metals inside the body. Hyperprolactinaemia may also be the result of disease of other organs such as the liver, kidneys, ovaries and thyroid.
